Swimming Lessons

The kids had so much fun in swimming lessons this year. This was Mackenzie's third year in swimming and Gavin's first. They both love the water but they are both a little scared of going all the way under. They will go under for a second but that's about it. So, it may be a while before they actually swim but that's ok. I've been taking them quite a bit so hopefully by next year they will be a little more comfortable.

T-Ball

Well, the T-ball season is over. It has been so much fun watching the games and seeing Mackenzie progress. Every time she played, she got a little better, and a little more confident. She was really excited to get her trophy after her last game.

We are in the process of getting a sprinkler system put in our yard and Gavin thinks that it's the funnest thing we've ever done. He plays outside in the trenches all day. He likes to turn on the water to make mud and dig with his shovel. He is not going to be very happy when we get our yard all put back together and he can no longer dig his "BIG OL' HOLES."

Our Father's Day Weekend

Dallas had a 4-day weekend for father's day so we decided to go camping. We had alot of fun. Gavin is definately his father's son. He loved every minute of it. He wanted to be outside all day playing in the dirt, throwing rocks, and fishing. It was a battle getting him to go in the trailer at bedtime. Even after three days he hadn't had enough. He did not want to go home. Mackenzie on the other hand didn't enjoy herself quite so much. She says that she had fun but it didn't show. She was pretty miserable. She would have prefered to stay at the trailer and color, read, play games, and watch movies instead of hiking around and fishing. But even that would get pretty boring after a while so she was pretty onry by the 2nd day. I cant say that I blame her too much bacause by the end of the third day I couldn't wait to go home either.

CAMPING

Let's Play Ball

Mackenzie is playing T-Ball for the first time this year and she is having so much fun. I love watching the little-league sports when they are so young. It is so funny. You've got kids running in the wrong direction, sitting in the outfield picking dandilions, and tripping all over the place. Mackenzie says that her favorite part is the treat at the end of the game.

The Secret Is Out!!

Even before I got pregnant, Dallas made up his mind that he did not want to find out what the baby was. I never wanted a "Surprise." I wanted to know what we were having. But, I agreed and I tried but I couldn't do it. So I found out about 6 weeks ago and the plan was to keep it to myself and let everyone else be surprised. It was working really well too until Dallas got snoopy. He knows me too well. He knew that I couldn't do it and assumed that I had found out and he talked me into telling him today. He thought that it wasn't fair for me to know and not him. So, I told him and he is really happy because we are having a GIRL which is what he wanted. Mackenzie couldn't be happier either. She has wanted a sister for a very long time. I am glad he knows- Now I can stop hiding all of the baby stuff that I've been buying!

Our Baby

I went to the doctor yesterday and had a 4-D ultrasound done. They got a pretty good picture of the baby's face. This baby definately has the Sill nose. I just think it's amazing what these ultrasounds can do
